(haipo) - City Council member Eli Ben Dayan's proposal regarding the treatment of dog feces in public places was approved this evening (Tuesday 4/6/24) in the city council. "Enforcement and supervision regarding the handling of dog excrement is deficient", Ben Dayan.
The proposal was approved It is Avihu Han's proposal - increasing enforcement by virtue of primary legislation. Ben Dayan's proposals were not approved for enforcement through DNA tests and it was also emphasized that no change is required in the municipal by-laws.
► Avihu Han - Deputy and Acting Mayor of Haifa
Many articles have been published in Hai Pa on the subject of dog excrement in the streets, one of the painful and annoying issues that the residents of Haifa have to deal with on a daily basis. In Haifa there is not even one neighborhood where the residents do not suffer from the phenomenon of dog excrement that fills the sidewalks, lawns and even the children's playgrounds. Rarely here and there one dog owner among dozens is fined and that is why there is no deterrence and many dog owners ignore and do not collect.
suggestion not approved: Enforcement and giving reports using markers or a computerized system by DNA testing
In the proposal, Ben Dayan requests that new municipal regulations be updated by the legal department of the municipality that allow enforcement and the provision of reports using markers or a computerized system by DNA testing. The construction of the establishment of a DNA database in cooperation with the municipal veterinarian, the operations manager and the information systems manager within a few months of owners The dogs in Haifa.
► Eli Ben Dayan - enforcement and reporting to dog owners
Eli Ben Dayan also suggests: building a collaborative municipal database with heads of authorities in the Haifa region in order to increase the DNA database of dog owners. Allocation of an advertising and information budget by a finance committee in cooperation with the municipal spokeswoman's department regarding morbidity and the hazards it produces.
In addition, Ben Dayan requests the dedication of an educator's hour in Haifa schools at least twice a year explaining the phenomenon and raising awareness of education and enforcement. Continue deployment of "green" collection bags and trash cans in public parks and gardens that do not have dedicated facilities for this.
It is important to note that Ben Dayan submitted a proposal for an arrangement on the same issue back in May 2021, but the proposal was not addressed almost completely in recent years and therefore he submitted it again.
In the proposal Ben Dayan explains that according to the municipal bylaws in Haifa "Bylaw for Haifa on maintaining order and cleanliness" it is written:
- "A person shall not leave or allow an animal to be left in a public place in a manner that constitutes or may constitute an obstacle or cause damage, and shall not allow an animal owned or under his supervision to wander in a public place."
- No person shall move a flock of sheep or goats in a public place or in a private place without a permit from the mayor and in accordance with the conditions of the permit.
- A person will not permit and will not permit an animal that he owns or supervises to defecate in a public place, in a common stairwell, in a common garden, in a common garden, or in a yard
- shared and likewise he must take all reasonable measures to prevent defecating in prohibited places.
- If an animal defecates by dropping dung in the prohibited places, its owner, or whoever has the animal under his supervision, must immediately collect the dung.
"Enforcement and supervision regarding the handling of dog excrement is deficient"
Unfortunately, most of the enforcement and supervision on the subject is lacking. So far there is no settled solution. There is no neighborhood in Haifa that does not suffer from the proliferation of dog feces in many public places, on the streets, sidewalks, parks, at the entrances to schools and kindergartens, and even on the promenades at the Haifa and Kiryat Haim beaches. Dog feces is not destiny! It is possible and possible to treat a hazard that is an environmental and health hazard. Be sure in places and parks where there are children.
The main flaw in the existence of enforcement is the need to provide a report "at the time of the act". Today, according to the municipal regulations, it is not possible to carry out effective enforcement against residents who flagrantly violate the law, causing environmental hazards and diseases. In order to overcome the aforementioned legal obstacle, we must carry out An update to the municipal regulations to enable "retroactive" enforcement.
Just as there is no need to give a report to a driver who parked in a prohibited place and there is no need for the presence of the driver if there is regulated documentation, so it is possible by building regulations and an upgraded enforcement system to carry out the enforcement. The combination of uncompromising enforcement, education and increased awareness of the issue will bring the results in treating the phenomenon. Therefore Ben Dayan submitted his proposals on the subject which we mentioned at the beginning of the article but we will mention again.
- Update of new municipal regulations by the legal department of the municipality that allow enforcement and reporting through markers or a computerized system by DNA testing.
- Building the establishment of a DNA database in cooperation with the municipal veterinarian, the operations manager and the information systems manager within a few months of the dog owners in Haifa.
- Collaborative construction of an urban database on heads of authorities in the Haifa region in order to increase the DNA database of dog owners.
- Allocation of an advertising and information budget by the Finance Committee in collaboration with the Municipal Spokesperson's Department regarding morbidity and the hazards it produces.
- Dedication of an educator's hour in Haifa schools at least twice a year explaining the phenomenon and raising awareness of education and enforcement.
- Continue deployment of "green" collection bags and trash cans in public parks and gardens that do not have dedicated facilities for this.
I don't have a pet, but it's funny to me how the municipality is always looking for ways to enrich the municipality's coffers, all of Haifa is dirty and not clean, and not because of pigs on four pigs on two who lift the trash cans and look for bottles and there are people who don't throw in the trash and inspectors who come in pairs and one imposes The second is the unbelievable lies that inspectors in uniform are able to lie with a determined face. I can imagine how many liar reports they will pile up just so that their salary will be increased and that the municipality's coffers will be increased. Shame that this is how a municipality is run. Go out with mobile cameras and start documenting everything because then it will be a problem to deal with inspectors who lie with a determined face.
Amen, Amen, Amen!!!
If it is also possible to put bags for collection,
Like in Karmiel for example, it might help a little
Yikes, Haifa rejects me
magnificent. The problem is that the municipality focuses on the neighborhoods on the Carmel. We will see them enforced where it is really needed
There is everywhere, and even in the "cultural" Carmel there is no difference. Some of the yards here in the past were simply dog toilets with crazy piles of droppings. I myself several years ago printed many posters and hung them up. It helped a little. A decades-old problem.
Lol only on the Carmel to enrich their coffers with Gizel they are all over Haifa
Very good that they were approved
Every animal in nature covers its needs
In the sand and if that's how dog owners behave
In my opinion, no fine, no inspectors, no cameras
Just enact a law for everyone who owns an animal a monthly payment like a water tax... 700 NIS for each animal
This is not the job of a municipal employee, shame and disgrace
you are not sane
And most obviously you don't have a BH, I hope for his sake that you are not Bah's husband
and the most important
A hollow like you doesn't like animals
I recommend a psychiatric examination as soon as possible
P.S. How does the respected system publish a hateful response like this
Your opinion is of no interest to human beings who love animals
Something is missing in your system
I am commenting here for the first time and I have registered your comment already registered???
Secondly, how do you, as a place that respects itself, advertise a
Like Ruth's stupidity
The undersigned loves animals
Maybe we should also give a fine to people with no sense and no worries like you?!
Maybe also whistleblowers and those who are in neighbor disputes and liars should be fined NIS 20000 for defamation!! to people like you
Maybe also whistleblowers and those who are in neighbor disputes and liars should be fined NIS 20000 for defamation!! to people like you
Please come to Tel Aviv Street 1 Haifa from number 1 and along the entire length of the street there are always dog owners from Jaffa Radak Street, the ghetto fighters and the entire area walking around with the dogs doing their needs in Tel Aviv Street 1 and along the entire length of the road
A disgrace, they would take the money that is burned on these tests and invest it for the benefit of needy people, in small businesses that barely manage to survive in today's situation... Shame on both the municipality and those people who don't clean up after their dogs...
So according to what you say the municipality should leave everything and give money to the needy? Because they are the most dangerous, and not at all responsible for their situation. They are basically like little children and they have no responsibility for their situation and it is the tax payer's responsibility to continue to step on shit in the street and transfer his money (through the property tax, not directly) to people who made some wrong choices in life and now they are our responsibility?
A. right
Let the money be given to those in need
B. Usher is written in the title
The article itself states that the bill was not approved
Apparently the reporter did not decide
This is a test that costs a few hundred shekels, and it is a method that has been applied in the central area for many years and where the phenomenon has been greatly reduced. The recipient of the fine also pays for the test.
In Jerusalem there are no wild boars, no dog excrement, no stray cats in quantities. The city is clean, polished, full of streets closed to quiet vehicles that are fun to sit in and full of people unlike the situation in the smaller centers of Haifa such as the empty Nordau and the smelly Talpiot Market.
Jerusalem index 3 socio-economic overtakes Haifa 8 in the index in terms of nurturing the face of the city and quality planning for the benefit of the residents.
In Emek Refaim, the sidewalks are clear of vehicles, streets and alleys for pedestrians only. The wonderful rail park.
Haifa lags behind like a backward development town.
But in Jerusalem there are disgusting and repulsive people like you!!! And there are good people, but you are the type of evil, so stay there and you have no right to talk about another city like Afish?!
I always clean up my dog's poop
Nonsense, all that is needed is to train a number of inspectors so that there is an inspector in every neighborhood. The inspector will work several hours a day in irregular shifts. He will document and file reports for dog owners.
Let's say each fine is NIS 500. It was enough to catch 2 people on shift and he covered the daily wage cost.
People will understand that there is supervision and enforcement and will start collecting the dung...
Residents will understand that there is enforcement and will report hotspots where there are criminals.
The time has come to educate the criminals and carry out proper enforcement. DNA is a stupid gimmick and Dan should look for better advisors than his friend at the coffee shop...
The law was not approved and rightfully so
The increases are greater
Publicity supervision raising awareness
tests.
Dna, and the urban vet has enough work.
Adding inspectors on 2.5 dung
First and foremost to end the refund problems that caused only damage
You share. of the municipality?! Worrying about how to support the coffers at the expense of the people is repulsive!!!
How much stupidity and arrogance in one post, maybe a psychiatrist should be placed in every neighborhood for brainless people like you?!
Regarding dog excrement on the street, the simplest is security cameras attached to electric poles or others on the street that record dog owners who do not clean up their dog's excrement, and an inspector can be sent to identify the owner following the documentation, because usually the same person every morning, noon, and evening does not clean up after his dog, in addition to leaving plastic bags in the number Places on the street to collect feces
There is also pig excrement which is polluting and dangerous, who takes responsibility for it?? Continue with the thinning of the pigs
A trillion percent right
There is no responsibility for people like the previous one, it is not 100%
LOL
This is how they say that there is ignorance, there is no intelligence, there are no worries
